Where it all began [Larry Stylinston]

Chapter 23

[Louis]

We arrive back home and I see that my moms' car is in the driveway, I stop walking at the end of the driveway and I take a few deep breaths. 

"Love what's wrong" Harry places his hand on my back and I slightly flinch at the contact   

"My mom's home and you're here, what if my mom asks questions about you. What will I say, I mean I want to tell here but I don't know what to say" I turn around to face Harry and he has a sympathetic look on his face 

"Well if she starts asking do you want me to answer her" He moves his hands to my shoulders making sure I keep looking at him. 

"It's okay, you don't have to" 

"Are you sure" 

"Yeah" I advert my eyes from his and look down at the ground 

"Okay" Harry grabs my face with his hands and kisses me quickly before he takes my hand and we walk down the path to the door and I open it. We take off our shoes and walk to the living room where I find my mom sitting on the couch. She turns around when she hears us walk in, smiles at me and her eyes move over to Harry who was standing beside me. 

"Oh, hey Harry. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home with your family, it's Christmas" 

"My family don't really celebrate Christmas" That's a lie, they do. His parents are just not home right now 

"Okay, well you should stay around, I'll cook dinner" 

"Oh, I couldn't intrude like that" 

"No no, you could never" 

Harry looked over at me and I smile and give a small nod. 

"Okay sure," A smile appears on my mom's face. 

"Amazing, can't wait" 

"Me neither. Um, do you mind if I just head to the washroom" 

"Oh, you don't need to ask. Do you know where it is?" 

"I do, thank you" Harry walks down the hall to the bathroom and I walk into the living room and sit next to my mom 

"I like your friend" 

"Yeah, me too" I smile fondly remembering every inch of his face  

"So, why is he here every time I come home" I quickly look over at her and try to think of a good excuse 

"He's a really good friend, I hang out with him a lot" 

"You hang out with Liam a lot and I don't see him all the time" 

"Okay, your point" 

"My point is that you two seem very close" 

"We are" 

"How long have you been dating" What the fuck 

"What" 

"I'm not blind, how long have you been dating him" I take a deep breath 

"Six months" Almost a year 

"And you didn't tell me" 

"I wanted to tell you in a more planned out way" 

"I don't care if it's planned out, my baby boy is dating someone for the first time" I roll my eyes 

"Don't make a big deal out of it" 

"Well I have to, and he's staying for dinner of course I'm gonna make a big deal" 

"Just don't embarrass me"
